Rigi Kulm-Hotel
Whether you prefer a fine à la carte menu in the Art Nouveau dining room or a simple family lunch in the self-service restaurant, the range of culinary options at the Rigi Kulm Hotel is very wide. Even though guests sitting on the spacious panoramic terrace may be distracted from their hunger by the stunning views of the majestic alpine arena, they should still not miss the excellent Älplermagronen (alpine macaroni) or other typical Swiss dishes. / Wherever they sit - in the Kulm's Art Nouveau dining room, the Panoramic dining room or out on the terrace - guests are served with a range of fresh, seasonal produce. The elegant rooms are perfect for family parties, wedding receptions and banquets of all kinds, for between 20 and 300 people. / The Rigi Kulm Hotel is the summit hotel and is therefore best reached using the cogwheel railway from either Vitznau or Goldau. / In this restaurant/hotel the Rigi-voucher can be redeemed.

Sledging pleasure on the Rigi
The toboggan runs on the Queen of the Mountains offer promising moments of happiness. You will whiz down the mountain on freshly polished runners. You don't need to take the skid vehicle with you for the ultimate snow pleasure. Our rental centres offer upholstered toboggans as well as toboggans equipped with child seats. We particularly recommend a night-time adventure under a bright starry sky followed by a fondue party. / Information: / Toboggan runs /

Rigi Staffel
Even the raised train platform at Rigi Staffel has a fabulous view towards Lucerne over Küssnacht and Seebodenalp. On the opposite side, Restaurant Bahnhöfli's terrace is the perfect place to while away the hours and take in the view of Rigi Scheidegg, Rotstock and the Alps. / Tip: In the evening, Rigi Staffel is a perfect place to take photos of the stunning sunset Mt. Rigi serves.

Maria zum Schnee pilgrimage chapel
The church «Vogt» (overlord) of Arth and his wife inaugurated this chapel in Rigi Klösterl in 1688 so that the alpine farmers from Schwyz who worked on Mt. Rigi could attend Mass on Sundays. It was consecrated in 1689 and one year later was given the name «Maria zum Schnee». / More and more pilgrims came to the «Maria zum Schnee» chapel seeking advice and healing, so from 1715, the monks stayed there all year round. Thirty years after it was built, the chapel was no longer able to cope with the flow of pilgrims. In 1721 it was replaced by a larger building, the pilgrimage chapel we see today. / The «Maria zum Schnee» pilgrimage church is a particularly romantic venue for wedding ceremonies. The church has room for 150 people. / Contact / Catholic Rectory of Arth / Bahnhofstrasse 6 / 6415 Arth / Phone: +41 41 855 01 20
